Vegetable Lo Mein
I used to almost always order Lo Mein when we would order Chinese food takeout. I love everything about it: the slimy noodles, the crunchy vegetables, and the delicious salty sauce in which it’s all drenched. Lo mein is typically made with Chinese egg noodles, so I figured it was high time to veganize (and…

This flavor combination is inspired by Natural Kitchen Adventures and uses tahini, sesame…
Rice Noodles with Bok Choy
I’m a big noodle fan. Udon, soba, ramen, rice… I don’t discriminate! There is something comforting in the slurping action, and yet, it’s like a friendly challenge to get the slippery noodles in your mouth. I like a food that makes you work for it a little bit – it builds anticipation and adds a…
